A new name for my blog

Hey David,
Your last couple of games have been great. Keep up the good work. I know you will. I don't know if you are superstitious or anything, but all the games I have gone to this year you have jacked one out. All of May you didn't have one than on Sunday night when I was there aganist the yankees you launch one...So if you want to send some tickets this way. Lol. Good Luck and stay healthy.

Hey David! I just wanted to say I've been a Mets fan my whole life, and you're, without a doubt, in my top five favs of all time! I grew up watching the Mets, (you and I are actually only a few months apart in age) and I've never been so excited as I am this year! I was there on Sunday night against the Yankees, and it was the craziest game I've ever been to at Shea! Keep up the good work! You, and the rest of the guys, really make me proud to be a Mets fan!

Pat

Hello Mr.Wright

I just have a couple of questions. You don't really have to answer them as I could tell by the overwhelming size of this message board, you probably have your hands full.

1. When you were coming out of Hickory you had already commited to Georgia Tech, You had the full trophy case, you were slated to be the next Nomar. What happened? Were you just tipped that you would be a first rounder and that alone was good enough in your mind to enter the draft. Or was it the money? A couple hundred thousand isn't that bad right. You said it yourself in SI Or was it the fact that since you saw Mike Cuddyer do it in 97 you said, I could do that too?

2) Following your rise through the minors, Virginia has been a field of potential for solid baseball players. Weather it's BJ or Justin, Verlander, Zimmerman, or any of those guys. Do you give yourself credit for that? I mean most would say that you started that chain.

Anyway, just one last question, Who's better you or BJ?

That's what I thought

I ran into Emil a couple of days ago, I told him to tell you I said hi.

Whats happenin dave? I was at the game on friday night (may 19th - subway series game 1). Your game winning single made my night! Just wanted to let you know that on the way out of the stadium and to the #7 train, i heard alot of people yelling out "D WRIGHT!"

-Dave

Hey David,
About a month ago, a newsday article described you as the "Mets' poster boy for everything good in the world." My mom and I got a good laugh out of that, only because its so true. Well its true of the David Wright that us Met fans know. Ever since last year when you came to this team, the mets have i think improved drastically. and yes i know that a team is exactly that, a team but you, in my opinion, have contrubuted to it greatly. Ive been watching the Mets since i was old enough to pay attention and although Mike Piazza, Robin Ventura, and Joe McEwing will always have a special place in my heart(as corny as that sounds) im pretty positive, youve gained the number one spot. You're an amazing ball player. Keep up the good work, us met fans are very proud of you and the rest of the boys.

Hey David,

You guys played a barnburner of a game last night/this morning. And the best part was you guys played every inning like it was the top of the 1st. No signs of fatigue or anything. And for you to have posted in your blog today, after a huge game like that and another one tonight (right now actually) shows a lot of dedication to your fans.

I'm glad to see you and your teammates aren't letting the bullpen woes affect you too much. A team that can stick to its gameplan in rough patches shows a lot of promise. I've been a Mets fan as far back as I remember, and this is probably the best team I've seen. Even better than the 2000 World Series Team. So here's hoping your success continues, and that this blog stays alive well into October.

==TJ==

==TJ== you are everywhere huh? LOL Glad to see an update David! :) Keep up the good work

*-D-*

Hello! This is Diana and Rebecca!

I, Diana, MET SARAH HUGHES ;-) AND YOUR BROTHERS AT THE SATURDAY GAME AGAINST THE YANKEES! I didn't know you had 3 brothers but the youngest one was so adorable with his braces! what a cutiepie!

One quick favor, would you please introduce us to some of your baseball playing friends? Thanks...your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Oh, sorry to bother you again but I was talking to my friend Hallie and she would like you to introduce her to one of your baseball playing friends as well. So if you could find 3 that'd be great! Thanks!

Hey David,
I just want you to know that there are a bunch of Mets fans on my softball team who were all celebrating your game winning single. Even one of the biggest Yankee fans I know admitted that you are "pretty good." For a huge Yankee fan to say you, as a Met, are pretty good is like saying you are a superstar. Just thought I'd let you know that your status is rising amongst Yankee fans as well as the many other avid baseball fans around the country. Keep up the good work!

-Lori

Hey David great game last night. (unfortunately I fell asleep in the 13th!)
I think you're a great all around player and the best two-strike hitter I've seen in a while. It's really great to see a player take the time to write to the fans. I know you must be quite busy. Anway, keep up the good work and Go Mets!

Whats up David,
I can't believe you have hit 3 homeruns in the past 3 games. That is amazing!!! You are my favorite player ever!!! Keep up the good work, and I really like the new name for your blog!

Good Luck the rest of the season,

Robby

Hey david,
I love the new name for your blog! My brother was at the game tonight;I was watching it from home, but we both enjoyed it immensely. Congratulations on everything in the past games, you're on a roll! Give me an email or something so I dont have to just talk to you through comments! Hoping to hear from you,

Emma

OK David here's a question fo ya....What are you thinknig about when you make those amazing plays? and How much practice do you think is too much?

oh I'm Luis by the way

OH and i'll be there tomorow so step it up and show me a lil sumtin....shhh, im cuttin school with my fellow ball player Will Dubbs.. send a shout out kid...stay safe

Dave, great playing + effort these last games, and that's a great first 1000 atbats you have under your belt, keep on doing what you're doing and you can only get better; which would be amazing from what you already are :] <3
-Abbie.

Hey good last few games with the 3 homers and the stolen base. I kinda felt sorry for Ryan Madson after he pitched 7 scoreless innings in relief. I wonder why they didn't pull him. Good win though. Tell Pedro to keep throwing the heat and keep winning games, 300 isn't too far off.

Hi David. Just wanted to say that seeing you having so much fun playing the game makes me watch more and more. I was born a Mets fan. I watch every season with the hopes of a great year. But watching you, Pedro, Reyes and others smiling and laughing brings me back to the '84-'88 years when the Mets showed they could have fun and still focus on winning.Thanks and keep it up!
-Marie

Hey David! I like the new name...it's catchy! :) Great last few days with all the homers! I was babysitting tonight and I turned on the game after I put the kids to bed and the first thing I see is your beautiful face at the plate and BAM...homerun! It made my night. Congrats on your 1,000th at bat, that's really amazing. You've been my favorite since that first at bat and I'm so happy that you are a part of a team that's been my favorite since I was born. Good luck with the next 1,000, and good luck with your Gold tournament! I'll see you at Shea soon. :)

--Kristen

Hey David,

I was just wondering...do you know if your homerun from Sunday night has landed yet? I was at the stadium, saw it take off, but I have no idea where it went. That was a moonshot to say the least. Keep up the good work.

-Joe

I can't help but think that any suggestion I (could have) made, had you shaking your head and wondering how someone could come up with something so awful... BUT on the bright side, not a career choice! Great job. keep it up.

hey david,
clever name for the blog. you've been kicking butt on the field, good job. today at the mall i bought a wright bracelet at the mets clubhouse store, so i'll be showing my support on my wrist for now on. keep up the good work. that's awesome (and cute) that you do charity work too.

~diana

hey david,
you played a great game tonight! 3 homeruns in 3 games, that's amazing. its comforting to know that any time you're at bat, you can give the team a run if its needed. keep it up, i love what i've been watching lately! also, good luck with your golf tournament. i live 2 seconds away from Leewood Golf Club, i wish i could see you. next friday is my birthday, so hopefully i'll be able to go the game that night. good luck tomorrow!

Hey David!
I've been a Mets fan my whole life, and I think I've found my new favorite player! You and Jose are my new top two favorites.I'm so excited that there are two Mets that are actually close to my age (Im 20). I was at the "Sweet 16" victory on Tuesday night, and it was so awesome. Thanks for every single, RBI, HR, game-winning shot and great field plays you've already made this season for the Amazins. Keep up the good work.

I was at tonight's game. Awesome homer and gamewinning single. When I got the game, the score was Phillies 3-0. I wasn't worried at all though, because I knew you guys would catch up, and win it. Thanks for being a part of the team I can have so much confidence in. Let's Go Mets!!!!!!!!

David,

Congratulations on your first 1,000 at bats! I think you've done a **** good job with them. I think I speak for all of the fans when I say that you play a big role in what this team needs. My Dad keeps telling me you'll end up being the next Mike Schmidt if you keep playing ball like this hahah

Jackie

Congratulations on winning the subway series. Even though saturday should have been the mets win, its still ok you win some and lose some. The mets right now are giving hope and hapiness to the true Mets fans. Cant wait for tonights game. goodluck.

May~

David-

I just came across your blog for the first time and I have to say that I like the WrightNow name. As a Mets fan dating back to the early 80s I feel that this club is on the verge of something special again (think '86). Your blog comments give Mets fans a sense of the ups/downs experienced by baseball players each day and an inside look into the current Mets team chemistry. I hope you continue your interaction with fans. Lets go Mets!

David,

Im not too much of a Mets fan(go Yankees!) but I can appreciate the hustle and competitiveness that you bring to NY and the positive contributions you make to help your team win! Lets make it a all-NY October!

Hello there.

So my buddies and I call you The General, because you'll lead New York to the postseason. We have a pretty big following for the name so far.

Anyway, how many handshakes do you have? And how do you go about practicing them?

Thanks man. Lets Go Mets Go!!

Hey David!
Man, you guys are smokin' with the offense right now, especially those homers. I wanna see a sweep today, show those Phillies whose the boss of the NL East. =)

Like the new Blog name.

Good Luck!

-Alex

Well what i was wonderin was if u have any before or during game superstitions. Well my baseball team is on a really bad loosing streak we have lost 3 straight and our total record is 1-5. I have tried all of the stuff that ussually worked but i was just wonderin if u had any. well hope to hear from u soon. if u want to tell me any my email is blakeweiss_2003@yahoo.com. well l8ter.
blake

Hay David,
You are hitting pretty well Wright now. I noticed your slumps seem to start and finish with the outside corner. I think the umpires were cheating you on that outside corner to help the slump from time to time. I have yet to see any opposing team consistinty challenge you inside. Why not crowd the plate a little more?

Hey david

I Just wanted to say you played a great game this past few days.i love the mets i have been a met fan since i could remember i think your a great player..and i am so excited for the mets this year... good luck and have a great game today...

Bye Bye

Rosie

Hey David,

Just an idea. Considering your new name for your blog, you could coordinate your entrance music at games with the blog, coming out to "Right Now" by Van Halen. Great song. Great player. Seems fitting.

Craig

Hi David,

I have been a Mets fan since 1968 and I must say that it is so nice to see a young player like yourself so committed to doing it right. You truly understand what it takes to be a major league player, especially with your attitude toward the fans. You are my favorite player, since I wore #5 as a young girl playing 3rd base as well. Keep up the good work on and off the field. I am looking forward to many more exciting years with you and the Mets.

Best of luck the rest of the way.

-Clare

Hey David,
As one of the only Mets fans in the great city of Sacramento, California I just wanted to say great job this season. You guys really seem to be coming together as of late.Keep up the good work!

Biggest Cali Fan in Cali,

Jorrel

Hey David,
So your hitting like this and your still learning??::rubs palms together::Your not going anywhere,right??At least promise us you'll never play for the ********(and dont pull a Damon!).I'd have a hard time hating you.Keep it up my fantasy team and myself thank you.

WAT UP MR. WRIGHT?? :What a week you've been having ah? I told you(well I wrote you)that you would snap out of the slump, its very admirable the way you tend to handle this things, it says alot about your character and shows that not all young people(in any job)give up. I graduated High School(at last =})yesterday and my gift is to go see the Mets take on the Marlins here in Miami this weekend; hope to see you hit at least a homerun on Dolphin Stadium, is not that easy but I've seen you do it here before. Last but not least, I hope you raise a lot of ca$h next week with you foundation(another excuse to admire your character), hope you hit whatever it is that can be hit in golf(dont know much about it :>). Say HOLA to Soler and El Duque for me plis, both great acquisitions for the best team in the league. Keep it up David, you got it...
W/ MUCH LOVE, Wendy R.

PS:I like the name you chose, I think it represents the best baseball mentality one could have. Fits u perfectly ;>

Hi David!
I am a rookie fan of Baseball, let alone the Mets specifically, but a couple things this season really caused some passion for the game to bubble up. The first time I saw you at bat you hit a homer... I was floored. I was at the Subway series over the weekend (saturday) and even though it was a tough game and the yanks overcame (barely) it was electric. I was reading your blog also, and hate to admit that I was surprised at how well spoken and thougthful you are. You seem to just be a diamond in the rough. Your foundation is doing awesome things for people and you are extremely special in the world of sports.

Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world- athletic, charitable, intelligence... it makes the world a better place to have people, in the public eye, doing good things and acting as role models for kids. You are only a couple of months younger than me, and as a young adult in the U.S., how you are living your life, publically, is a breath of fresh air compared to some others our age. Keep up the good work, as best you can, and hopefully we'll get to keep you in N.Y... at least for a while! I'll be cheering for you... whether its at the stadium, or at home!

Your newly devoted Mets fan!

~Denise

hey david!

I just wanted to let you know how much I admire you as not only a stellar ball player but as just a good, hardworking down to earth person. My little brothers watch you and they say to themselves, "this guy worked hard, look where he is! Maybe if I work that hard I can be just like him!" My family basically breeds Mets fans so they have alot of heroes including Robin Ventura and Mike Piazza but you're the one they find the most relatable, like you're not compltetly untouchable, you're just like them.

Thanks for being such a breath of fresh air and reminding everyone that the Yankees aren't the only ball team in New York.

Good Luck and we'll be watching!

-Jackie

hi david
was at tuesday nites game. thanks for signing my ticket during batting practice. the game was awsome as was your homerun. keep up the good work. it makes the drive in well worth too see someone really have there heart and soul in the game.

mary [from ct.]

HI David!! I just wanted to say that i think you are an awesome player and a good hearted person, there are not many people out there like that and i am so glad that you are a part of the GREATEST TEAM THERE IS!!! You and the guys put your heart and soul into every game and i just wanted to say that as a fan we all appreciate it!! I wanted to ask you in your opinion what it means to you to be a New York Met. Is it all you expected it to be or more? Thanks and i wish you and the team lots of luck!!! Take care!!!

Hey david I just wanted to know if you really did have a myspace or if it was just someone who was really good at impersonating you.
If you could just tell me id be happy but its ok if you dont. I know this was a little off the subject but please and thanks!

Love your number 1 fan- Keri <3

Hey David!
My dad is a HUGE mets fan. He's crazy about "his team" haha! Well I'm in fourteen and i have to say that I'm the biggest mets fan in my high school. I guess my dad's love for the team rubbed off on me.You are my favorite player! You have been an amazing player and helped the team through a lot of sticky situations. Especially this last week. Your playing has been amazing! You amaze me more and more every time you play! I'm begging my dad to take me to a few games this summer! haha he always goes by himself. Thats no fun. Well when I go you'll hear me! haha! Good luck! Get those Phillies!

Your Biggest Fan

Melanie

Hey David,

You have been all over the papers recently. It's been so exciting to see you play. Great Series against the Yankees and The Philies. Hopefully ill be going to more games soon. Keep up the good work.

<3 your biggest fan

Amanda

David
Your name rhymes with Bavid...did u ever think of that...

Hey,
Wow. I just realized June is a week away.

You've been amazing the last few games; keep it up. What is it now? 4 games up?

Oh, how did you stay awake for the 16 inning game? I know if I were in the stands, I would've been out by the 12th inning. I guess it's different for the players.

Later,

Stephen

Hey David,
Awesome playing!! All these homeruns remind me of something I read on Mets.com last year, saying you bought a puppy named Homer. How is he??

On a baseball note, I've noticed that even though you are such a good 2-strike hitter, you haven't been in that hole as often this season? Are you trying to change that or have pitchers realized how dangerous you are?

Tell Jose Reyes he's amazing and keep up the good work!

-Gigi

Heyy David
First i want to thank you for staying and signing autographs for me and my friends at batting practice during the 16 inning game. you are no doubt my favorite player and many others too. We stayed the whole game in the left field seats and will try to be at many other home games. Good luck

From Ryan

What's up David?
Congratulations on the series against the Yankees. I watched the Pedro game on Fox, and it must have been a tough loss for you guys, but the game was really good. (I can't help following Pedro, Nomar, D-Lo, pretty much all of the guys from the 2004 team . . . including Mr. Damon)

The golf tournament sounds exciting. I love it when players really lend themselves to the community and hold charitable functions. It is especially nice when a young guy like you (Although who am I to talk, I'm only 16) starts doing charity early on. Say hi to Pedro for me!

-A

Hey David,

I'll see you at the Golf Tournament on June 1 at Leewood.

Check out my blog...

http://americanlegends.blogspot.com/

Would love to know what you think.

Take care,

Mark

David,
Really like the name of your blog. You are one of my favorite players. Keep up the good work.

Hey David, you are the best thing that has happened to the Mets in a while. You’re awesome to watch. The enthusiasm and energy you have is a breath of fresh air. Keep it up!

PS: hope you have your same awesome humbleness in ten years from now -when with God’s help you’ll be a ten time all star and sure of a spot in the hall of fame- as you have (W)right now;-).

BTW do you really read these comments?

Your greatest Fan Asher.

Cheers!!

Hey, good to have you guys back. And it's good to hear that you guys go out there with confidence despite whose pitching. Keep up the good work!

hea David,
Congadulations from winning the series against the Phillies even though you guys didn't get the sweep. I enjoy seeing your dedication and hard work everytime you take the field! Even though you went 0-4 today you made it up in your great defense. Don't worry, tomorrow you'll hit a homerun!!{knock on wood} I love the new name for your blog. Its simple and straight to the point. It suits you perfectly. I saw that Lo Duca had on the high pants.ha ha! Tell Reyes that his homerun was awesome.

I noticed that you like to chase sliders and breaking balls in the dirt and you have to be careful with that. I know that's its tempting but you got to watch out. I hope your charity golf tournament is successful and it is great to see a young bright player use his position to help others.

I love you so much and I'm your number one fan. Good Luck tomorrow against the Marlins. I smell a sweep.{Knock on wood} I kno you guys will be playing hard for the win. Take care and stay healthy. Your number one fan.

GOOOO METS!!!!

- Lindsy {your future wife}

David,
Congradulations on your 1,000 at bat! Thats a great accomplishment to achieve and I know that I can speak for all your fans when I say that we are extremely proud of you and keep up the amazin' work. I love the Mets and you guys are going to go places this year!!! Good Luck tomorrow night.

-Lindsy

Hey David!

This is very kool that you let us know what is going on in your life! My favorite football player also has a blog and I love finding stuff out and seeing how many other people love you guys! So, I got my Sports Illustrated in the mail today! (The one I got from signing up for a credit card at spring training) I love the article on you...and all the pics!!! Spring training was great! Since I graduated a semester early from school and I did not have a job and my mom had a conference and Florida I joined her for the trip. And my only request to I wanted to see you guys play! So, we were at the last home game for you guys! When Perdo pitched….it was great. Since it was on ESPN they were giving out free tickets in the lover lower right behind the dugout….it was great! I am hoping to do it again next year! Oh I think I am turning my mom into a Mets fan! She likes the Phillies but on Saturday she was yelling at the TV… so, I am going to keep working on her! Well, she does know the batting order….or at least who is before you! She said she would go to Shea for a game! Congrats on the 1,000 at-bat and the golf tourney sounds fun! Good luck in Florida and the rest of the season :) LETS GO METS!!!

~Betsy

P.S. Love the name of the blog!

Hey David!

You were amazing in the series against the Yankees. I live in a house divided-men are Yankee fans and women are Mets fans. I was watching the first series with my brothers and my dad and when you came up to bat I told them that you were going to get the game-winning hit, needless to say, they weren't to happy when you did, but I was jumping around and dancing. It was amazing. I haven't had a favorite ball player in a very long time, but now I can honestly say that you hold that title. I hope I get to Shea Stadium a few times this summer. Congratulations on the 1000 at-bat and good luck with the rest of the season.

Love,

Kristina

Hi David,
I've been staying up so late watching the games, and I'm just amazed at how you guys have pulled together and never gave up, despite the obstacles. The name for the blog is so simple and yet so effective. It's great. Keep up the great work. I hope to get out to Shea soon so I can see you guys in person, well, at least much closer than seeing you on TV. Keep up that great attitude! It will take you to great places.

Cindy

Hi David,
Just finished reading the Sports Illustrated article on you and it was great.I'm a huge Yankee fan but I had the chance to see you play 2 years ago in Binghamton and I told my 15 yr old son back then that you were going to be a special ball player.The total love and respect you have for the game is a rare quality in this day of big money contracts and its very refreshing to see a player like you who truly loves playing baseball.You are a GREAT role model for the younger kids who someday dream of playing major league baseball.Major league baseball needs all the David Wrights they can find,you are a true professional.Don't ever change and thank you for keeping the true tradition of the game alive.

Bill D.

David,
I like the name that Shawn came up with for your blog. Good choice. I'm really impressed with your foundation after checking out your website. You provide people with such hope and happiness when you're on the field and when you're off of it. I think you're amazing (no pun intended). Continued good luck to you and the rest of the Mets.

Jacqueline

heyy David,

Im so glad you picked Wright now, well first of all its because i was one of the people who suggested it lol. Anyways you're completely right, don't look behind, stop worrying about the future, just focus on the present. Wright now you are truly a great baseball player and with the way you're improving you will be an even greater bb player.

-Lots of LOVEEE

Michelle

Dear Mr.Wright AKA a sweet gentleman. :)

Yesterday, I still repeated to read Mr.Wright’s updated speech and his own foundation website. And I also can say I like his new blog name. It was nice for your blog and I was happy to see your idea in your life. : -)

As a result, I want to appreciate of read your blog. I had wondered what your favourite book or quote was before. Wow! I also wonder A. France’s is your favourite though. Well, I thought he has been well-grown and educated in his life. I also learned a lot into his blog. Thank you. 

And I also see that you are busy to hold your first [the David Wright Foundation Golf Classic]! Good luck with your charity event and your whole career, Mr. Wright. :-) But unfortunately I don’t live closely from there NYC (I live in S. Korea) and can’t go there. :-( I hope it would be even international later. Well [the David Wright world] can include [the international] WRIGHT NOW! Heh heh

Today I appreciate that you read even my bad English. But I wish if Mr.Wright to read mine, he would know how much I am happy to know about his public events and how much I care of him though.

Thanks and have a good luck again!

Johanna.

Hey David,

It is great to see a hometown hero from Chesapeake, VA playing for the greatest team in the league. Y'all are playing electrifying baseball so far this year! I usually do not start to follow the season until after the All Star break, but I cannot help to follow every single game this year. It was great to explain to a Yankee fan why I am a Mets fan though I'm from Virginia. There is nothing like seeing a rising star playing for the Tides, and then make it to the Mets starting line-up. What was even better was to laugh at the poor Yankee fan when you and Delgado went back to back to get the lead. Great job taking the series with the Phils. Thanks to you and and the rest of the Amazing Mets for a exhilirating season so far! Keep it up, Let's Go METS!

Hey David. You are having a great season and it is fun to watch you play. Im a freshman and high school and i am doing a report on being a pro baseball player. I was wondering if you could answer some questions for me. E-Mail Earls3144@aol.com

hey david its angie again...ive set a goal for myself to comment at least once on all your entries lol but anyways you have been playing so well lately im so proud of you!! ^_^ My teacher for wold history is a cardinals fan so we would always tease each other about how well our teams are playing...you and the Mets are kicking major butt out there especially against the phillies. I couldnt believe that first game where you guys won in the 16th inning..that was an awsome game!

i think its so nice youre having a charity going on i think its going to be very successful and i hope it is!

oh btw i like the name you picked for your blog i think its awsome. although mine didnt get picked thats okay cause this name was better lol i see you guys are playing the marlins next, i bet youre gonna sweep em wouldnt that be cool? You and the mets have only lost like 2 or 3 series in the whole season so far thats just amazing! even tho i live in Indiana im gonna try and watch as many games as i can bc my cable doesnt have a baseball package i can get -.- dont get vonage theyre horrible!!!! well anyway keep up the good work ill be rootin for all of you to win especially you david! LETS GO METS!!

Do you think that in one of your blogs you could list the songs that you walk out to at shea. I've got a little wager on it with my brother. Thanks and Mets in 06!

Hi David, Im glad you finally found a name for your blog.
Great game tuesday night, even though I fell asleep in the 12th. I saw the homerun Beltran hit in the 16th the next morning. I wish I seen it when it happened though. I would've been even more excited. Anyways, its good to know we beat the phillies 2 out of 3. Everybody on our team did really good. I know you are playing the marlins tonight, I know we could beat them. It would be real good if we sweep them. For now lets just wait till we finish our first game though,lol. I also wanted to ask you a question, what music you come out with when you are coming up to the plate? Well, good luck against the marlins tonight, even though you really don't need it. Let's Go Mets!

-Veronica

hea David,
Just wanted to wish you good luck tonite against the Marlins. Play smart and most of all have fun. You guys are amazin' and I love your passion and dedication for the game. I'll be watching the game tonite and be rootin for you and the rest of the team!!!

LET'S GOOOOO METS!!!!!

-Lindsy

Hi- Sorry for your first missed game. I hope your back feels better. It was an upsetting night and it stinks to sit out a game, especially when you want to assist the team.

Your website looks much more professional than the original page. I was going to ask the executive director if you needed a volunteer to rebuild the site. I am not sure if the site is still under construction because I have seen minor changes, but your top title bar needs to be named. Great quote picked by the way. Good luck today and every game.

-Ada

Hope you get to play by tomorrow, it's got to be an experience to play behind El Duque.

-Justin Fenner

Hey David! Glad you named your blog. I'm sorry that you got back spasms on friday. Odd thing you know? But I think it had done you well to take the day off. Today you're playing great, even though you may not feel 100% or you might feel like you're complete. I was so confused to why you weren't playing. I said "It's not like wright to just miss a game" but then the announcers said it was back problems and I was like "oh." But todays game is great. Keep playing amazing. Plus I am a huge fan of the mets and I idol you.
Have a great marlins series.

hey david!
im sorry that you didn't get to play last night because of your back spasms. i was really upset and surprised when i didn't see your name in the starting lineup. ): i hope your back is feeling better, but i guess it must be because you are playing today. you are doing awesome today. nice plays at 3rd, i saw both of them!!! (: i also like your blog name, it's pretty clever. ok im going to go watch the rest of the game. good luck with the marlins! love, katie

hea David,
Congradulations on being 4-4 today against the Marlins. Your hitting was amazin' and I am so proud of you. I'm sorry that you had to sit out of the game yesterday because of your back. You looked muched better today. The game didn't seem the same without you in the line up. That shows how important you are to this team. Feel better and good luck tomorrow!!

LET'S GOOOOOO METS!!!!

Hey Mr. Wright:
What back spasms? You were great today, I had the pleasure of going to the game to see you go 4-4 and win it for Glavine. I realy hope you feel much better the rest of the series, I guess it hurts when you're carying a team on your back =>. It seems you're about to get into a grove, so National League:be very affraid!!!! Keep it up, I would hate to think that you only did good today b/c I was there ;}. See you next time you come to Miami...

Much Love, Wendy R.

Hi David

What a great game you had today? I hope that your back is better. Keep up the good work.

David

Hi Wright, great game today.
We won 7-3. I hope your back is feeling much better. Good luck in tommorrow's game. Let's Go Mets!

-Veronica

Hi David! Sorry your back hurts, hope it feels better soon. I think you are not only a great player, but a role model for today's youth. Keep up the good work! LETS GO METS!!!I haven't been this happy since 1986.
-Tammi

David - Your chiropractor deserves a gold star for making you well.
What card game/s do you play while in the clubhouse - it it's gin, deal me in.

Dear David,

I really liked what you said about playing for the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back of the jersey. I understand that individual stats are important in this game, but as a fan - even though I have my favorite players - I still am rooting for the entire team!

Do most players feel that way? Or are they more concerned with their individual stats? Does being on a losing ball club contribute to an individual player changing teams?

Thanks! Love the Blog!

Lu

i no you here this alot but u are by far my favorite player just eeverything completes it just the way u hustle for the ball when u stikeout u dont complain ur a good role model and your a great clutch hitter and for the closing
LETS GO METS

hea David,
Great game today! You went 2-4 and Beltran hit a great 2-run homer. Your defense was right on even with back spasms. The team stuck in there and everybody contributed with hits and amazin' defense.

I kno you guys will do great against the Diamondbacks tomorrow night. I'll be watchin. The Mets are on top and going strong. Watch out, the Braves are in a groove and catching up. Don't let them get on top. We deserve the title because we have an amazin' team this year and we play with heart! Keep up the great work cause your on fire {W}right now!!!Tell Beltran to keep swinging that bat.

-Lindsy

Please thank your chiropractor for me because wutever he/she did really paid off!!! your such a big asset to this team that we couldnt afford to have you sit out again.

u david u r on fantasy team i talk to ur mom at hickory middle school

Hi David

6 for 8 against the Marlins was awesome. I'm glad that your back is better. What a great interview you did with Bruce Beck last night on Miked Up, especially since I know you had to have been tired.

David

I was in Sat's game My first Met game ever! And David threw me a ball (guess what? I can't catch LOL) but I still got it. Sadly I don't have a sign or nothing on it that says so. Anywhooo Great!! game it was HOT but all worth it!
*-Desiree-*

hea David,
Great job in the bottom of the second inning where you guys drove in 4 runs!!! The game is on rain delay right now. I hope the game starts soon. You guys rock. Whenever the Mets are down by runs we always manage to stick in there and produce runs of our own to win the game. I wonder how long this rain delay might last. Good luck on the rest of the series. Tell Lo Duca that his two doubles were amazin'.I love you guys so much and you are my favorite player!

LET'S GOOOO METS!!!

Sup David,

Unlike most others commenting here on your blog, I'm a Yankees fan. I used to root for the Mets back when I was like in the 5th grade, but gave up on them when Strawberry bolted for L.A.

Anyways, I just wanted to take the time to let you know and your teammates know what a great job you guys have been doing and everyone's approach to games day to day despite all the second guessing from everyone to Mets' fans, baseball fans, sportswriters/critics alike. It's easy for anyone, myself included to get caught up in complaining about something when they aren't involved first hand (Carlos Beltran's situation in the beginning of the year was a good example) esp. NY'ers, but you guys are holding up and keeping your stride. I'm impressed. I'm also impressed with your humble attitude. Very Jeter-like. Keep it up, man!

Congratulations on the game winning hit last night. You guys are making Mets games fun to watch again, and best of all, playing like a team.

-Don

great hit against the dbacks david you don't know how much we all love you. keep up the great work.

Thank you for another game winning hit last night. You always come through when the chips are down. Keep up the good work

Another great game!!!....i cant wait for october baseball, bc this team is going all the way. its great to see how down to earth you are and accomodating w/fans. when people say you are the enxt derek jeter does it bother you?...the big difference is you guys seem a lot nicer and more down to earth than any of the yankee players. i think their payroll gets to their head and they actn like they are too good....

Hi, David

Just wanted to say that you played a great game last night i really enjoyed it.... you guys are doing so good and i loved it when you fooled the guy from Florida when you went to third base...that was a great move… you’re great …

Bye Bye

Rosie

AWESOME GAME LAST NIGHT!! WAY TO BE CLUTCH!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

hea David,

Great game last night, your game winning hit was amazin'!!

You always come through for the team and you know how to deliver. I knew that you had it. You were so close to a grand slam winning hit. How awesome would that of been?!We never gave up and the team played the rest of the game with your heads high. Floyd is getting into a groove and Valentin is producing runs and pulling his weight. The Mets are coming even closer together and we are working as a team to get the wins. If someone is slacking there is always someone there to pick up the slack and the other player's spirit. Thats what makes the Mets such a great team.

You had some great plays at third last night with those short one hoppers. Keep up the great work. Tell Nady that I hope he feels better and to hang in there. I hope Milledge can come in and pick up where Nady left off. Good luck tonight in the second game against the D'backs. Keep up the amazin' work David.I have all the confidence in th world for this team and you especially. Keep playing strong and LET'S GOOO METS!!!!!

-Lindsy

hey Mr. Wright!!

I'm digging the walk off's. You currently have 4 walkoff gamewinners this season. Go METS!!!

David, first let me say that as a life-long Mets fan, I am so happy and excited to watch you progress as a player and foundation of the lineup. It's been a bit painful to watch our top talent the past few years either get traded away or not pan out. Your approach to the game, how serious you take it, and yet how you seem to have fun, make me proud to have you on my favorite team. I hope you anchor the infield with Jose for a long, long time.

Now, will you make Milledge carry your bags or will you let Cliffy or Delgato have him?

David,
i am a HUGE mets fan but my dad doesn't watch baseball but loves the yankees. everyday, he yells at me since i have to see a mets game at least once in a day. make a homer!!!

David,
After reading an article about you in Sports Illustrated this past week, I just wanted to let you know that I have a great deal of respect for you now. Many players of your status seem to be caught up in the hype of being famous and being a major-leaguer, but that doesn't seem to spoil you. It's nice to know that there are some nice guys like yourself who are grounded and remain down-to-earth despite their experiences. Thanks for being awesome and a great player as well! Keep up the good work!!
